cit was once my fortune" he says,
"to sec young man take All ax in his

open ground under the fire of 400 dis

down telegraph pole. While he was
chopping away mt the tough cedar wood
| could plainly see the splintcrs whirling
awny from the pole from top to bottom,
as the whiz2ing bullets aimed at him
crashed through it, or scanned its sides
with ragged scars. Near by stood n
brick chimney, whore house had been
burned down; twelve pound shot
struck the pile, and it went tumbling to
earth, scattering it's bricks about, some
of them striking the young soldiers

y largo part OF ifc's burdens are self
imposed and wholly needless. Fears OF
calamitics which never happen, dolcful
habit OF looking Mt the worst, sus.
picious disposition, jealous turn OF
mind these are the tyrants that load us
with burdens heavy to bear and needless
to carry, If we should honestly examine
the various burdens of ou lives, We
would be surprised to find how many OF
them are OF this character Not only
may We drop them if we will, but Justice
to others demands that we should. A
man or woman habitualIy unhappy is
essentially selfish, and is always Il Thorn
in the community. There are enough
crosses and trials in life which must be
borne, without manufacturing artiticiu
and needless ones; and the more thor
oughly we rid ourselves of the latter, tho
more energy and spirit we can bring tc
bear upon the former.
